World Cup Qualifiers: Vietnam surpasses UAE, leaves Thailand far behind; Coach Philippe Troussier says goodbye to U19 Vietnam

Vietnam's odds of advancing to the World Cup qualifiers surpass UAE, leaving Thailand and Malaysia far behind.

We Global website rates the Vietnam team's odds of advancing in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers in Asia as the highest compared to the teams in Group G.

The Vietnamese team is considered to have a great chance of going further.

Apart from Indonesia, which is certain to be at the bottom of Group G, the opportunity to continue to the final qualifying round of the 2022 World Cup in Asia is still reserved for Vietnam, Malaysia, Thailand and the UAE. However, after the match on June 3, the opportunity to continue between these teams has changed. Although it is not yet possible to confirm who will be the next team in this group, it is clear that, based on the schedule, scores and rankings, Vietnam and the UAE are the teams with clear prospects.

Coach Philippe Troussier says goodbye to U19 Vietnam

Not renewing his contract with the former parent company of PVF, Coach Philippe Troussier will no longer lead the Vietnam U19 team and return to France.

Recently, when the French coach’s contract expired, the new leader of PVF, Van Lang Group, did not want to continue the contract with him. Therefore, the head coach of the Vietnam U19 team had to say goodbye and return home.

On May 31, coach Philippe Troussier's contract with the former parent company of PVF expired, so this veteran coach will no longer continue to lead the Vietnam U19 team. The reason for mentioning the former parent company of PFV is because Vin Group was previously the owner of this center and signed a contract for him to be the technical director of PVF, and also the head coach of the Vietnam U19 team since the end of 2018.
